A dietitian is an expert in food and nutrition, and a nutritionist advises patients on matters of nutrition. When your case requires medical analysis or testimony in one of these areas, it’s crucial to find a medical expert witness who is certified and actively practicing in the U.S.
In many jurisdictions, including most U.S. states, the term “nutritionist” isn’t legally protected. Anyone may call him or herself a nutritionist, with no qualifications. By contrast, only those who meet professional requirements may call themselves a dietitian.
Dietitians participate in research, supervise the service and preparation of food, develop modified diets and educate individuals on proper nutrition.
In medical settings, dietitians may provide artificial nutritional needs to patients unable to eat normally. They may also help patients address medical issues by modifying their diets. In some facilities, these experts can obtain, prepare and serve flavorful, nutritious food to patients, family members and health care providers.
To help you build your winning case, a medical expert witness needs more than just professional experience. At AMFS, we prescreen each expert by analyzing more than 20 data points spanning education, experience, medico-legal knowledge and communication skills.
Finding an expert witness can be time-consuming, especially when you’re busy building your case. Many of the most qualified dietitians are only available through expert witness services. These are just a few reasons why more than 20,000 lawyers trust AMFS to find them the best medical expert witness for their case.

Unlike some expert services, they make it a point to immediately connect you with a medical director who takes the time to listen to the facts and give an honest assessment of the likely success of the case. Further, if you are not sure, they will point to the sub specialty most qualified to review the case.”
— George Donze
“I'm writing to commend your case manager for taking a horrible situation we had with an expert and turning it around in less than 24 hours and getting a replacement expert that really jumped in and did the job well and met our deadline. He turned a near disaster into a forward fumble. We are very happy with the results. As we all know, things can get a little crazy in the trenches and it is good to know you have some people that can cut through the red tape and make things happen.”

“AMFS has consistently provided my office with excellent, above and beyond service. They have provided me with qualified medical experts, who have all been accomplished physicians with large successful practices. Their in-house Medical Directors have been a valuable resource in helping me understand the medical issues of my cases. Most important is the level of service, it is fantastic. I have recommended AMFS to some of my closest professional friends, and would recommend their services to anyone looking for medical-legal consultation or expert physicians.”
— Marc S. Alpert, Esq.
“I am a solo practitioner. My client had a situation dealing with surgical intervention of a relatively rare condition. The good folks at AFMS listened to my facts and my particular desire to not spend several thousand dollars to be told to NOT advance the case. Stephanie, presumably a nurse practitioner or legal nurse consultant (given her ability to speak medico-legal) got me to the medical director, Dr. Danzer (sic). These two spoke with me, addressed how the facts interplayed with the law, and broke out for me the circumstances under which the potential case would be reasonable to pursue. They spent 30 minutes with me gong back and forth and enabled me to make a fully informed decision on how to proceed. I will use AMFS for every medico-legal consultation and/or medical malpractice matter I have for the remainder of my career.”
